The four pillars
What the Collective is built on.
Pillar 01
Entrepreneurship and venture.
A business and venture-capital mindset, introduced earlier: before the pitch, the deck, or the first term sheet.
Pillar 02
Founder wellness.
Movement, breathwork, thoughtful meals, and real rest belong in the work. The companies that last are built by founders who can keep building.
Pillar 03
Community and resources.
Salons, working sessions, and a shared library that connect members with the clinicians, investors, and collaborators they need.
Pillar 04
Media and visibility.
The First Check newsletter, podcast, founder features, and digital products put women in health in front of the audiences that matter.
The founder
Built by a scientist who became a venture builder.
Natalie Boykoff, PhD, did her doctoral research at Memorial Sloan Kettering in oncology, radiopharmaceuticals, and imaging. She now works across early-stage investing, venture scouting, and ecosystem building in women's health, and leads Girls Into VC in NYC.
She started First Check Collective so women building in health don't have to build alone, or burn out getting there.
